Because we're in such an unpopulated area, our online weather comes from either 25 miles to the north or 60 miles to the south. Despite the further distance, the southern forecasts are usually more accurate so I pretty much always rely on them.

Yesterday our predicted snow accumulation went from three to four inches down to just one to two inches, much to our relief. But when it became increasingly apparent that we had more than two inches of snow piled up out there no matter how or where you measured it, and it was still heavily falling (I believe the technical term used by the professional weather people to describe what was going on was "freezing snow fog,") Joe had the brilliant idea to check the northern forecast. Aha. Five to six inches.

We ended up getting about nine inches of snow in less than six hours. This is pretty unusual for us, especially in very late February.

OH MY GOSH!I always enjoy your photos. But this one with the view of everything on the other side of the gate is just stunning! Gave me shivers to say the least. I hope you save it for a contest or add to the 1001 other great snow photos you have.Thanks much.Cin

Good Morning Susan,I love your pictures, but burr!!!!I hope your digging out, March just came in like a lion so it should go out like a LAMB (ha ha ha). In more way than one for you...... right?

I think that I have spoiled my husband. I've been making your Oatmeal Toasting bread, and Farm House White for him... Now he won't eat any thing else, I've also made Beth's Wholewheat berry Bread. What a wonderful way to spoil someone. Huh!!!Keep the wonderful pictures and post coming. I really enjoy themNo snow here in Western Michigan, but it very cold. 8 degrees this morning....Sharon, from Western MI

Very pretty! But I am sick of it. We had a foot or more in NH and I'm ready for Spring, or, maybe Key West. Maybe some island with warm breezes and blue water...I assume the animals were just fine with it? Just we humans that are grumpy.:)

Oh, you're weather outside IS frightful, and I was thinking Spring was too slow a coming here..lets not trade! Where we are ..we get the same kind of forcasts..non-exsistant! We never know either. At least the land is getting moisture..here it's real dry. Beautiful pictures!

December 2015 update: Hi!
